Consider color first

when creating your look. The Tuscan people felt a connection
to nature, from the landscape to agriculture, so choose from these rich, earthy
tones: golden olive oil, terracotta, luscious olive green, deep browns, rich
burgundy, Mediterranean blues, burnt orange and golden yellow. These colors
may be made to look weathered or muted to create an attractive, timeless
beauty.

One of the main features of Tuscan--Italian décor is the abundant use of
texture. Add texture to your walls by combining your paint with texture additives.
Wall texturing ideas include Venetian hand plastering, suede or granite texture
paints or sponge style painting techniques. These wall applications will give your
room that old world touch.

If you are planning a entire room makeover, you should consider stone tiles or
hardwood floors for a complete Tuscan decor look. But you may achieve the Italian theme, with the incorporation of a few great furniture choices and home
accessory pieces.

Solid hardwood furniture with textile or leather coverings are the trademark of an
authentic Tuscan home. Consider traditional, very comfortable style furnishings
to pull off your Tuscan feel. Strive for quality, uniqueness and personal comfort.

Much of the décor used in these traditional homes were from products that
were easily accessible in the region. With the help of local skilled artisans, many
unique works were created. The most popular materials used were tapestry
textiles, tile, wrought iron, ceramic, pottery, marble and hard woods.
When selecting your Tuscan decorations, start with a focus piece and work out
from there.

I would recommend that you select an Italian-Tuscan themed tapestry
Homedecoratingstudio.com has some great tapestry choices. A wall tapestry
will add texture, warmth and color. Tapestries are great for any room in your
home--whatever the theme. Select some of the colors in your tapestry to use
as accent colors throughout your room.

Tuscan wrought iron is an important feature for your Italian décor. Start by selecting a decorative rod for your tapestry. Now that you have placed your tapestry
above the sofa or fireplace mantel, you may now choose accessories to complete the entire wall. Tuscan wrought iron wall grills make very attractive accents
with a tapestry. The iron gives the sturdy, but simple Italian style and the tapestry softens the look for an inviting, comfortable feel. There are some great samples
of popular metal wall décor at homedecoratingstudio.com. You will always find the newest in Tuscan metal décor in our online home decorating catalog.

As you continue to add pieces to your room, remember to mix and match textures,
styles, colors, and shapes to create YOUR Tuscan room. Other trendy wall
décor that will bring your room to life may include a metal wall, mantel shelf. A
newer, emerging trend in Tuscan wall décor are metal wall pockets and candle
wall sconces. What makes the accessories work for you, is having unique
detailing and character, with an old world, aged finish.

One other interesting idea for your wall would be a wall clock. Wall
clocks have become a must have, functional home décor piece that accessorizes
any style home décor. Look for a clock of metal or a Tuscan style, hardwood frame.
Home decorating studio features a selection of very high quality, unique wall
clocks that would be a great addition to your Tuscan room.

Small, finishing touch accents may now be added. Give attention to every detail
by adding your own personal touches, incorporate such pieces as a grape
accented floral wreath or garland, word wall art and framed Tuscan wall art
or framed, inspirational verse art.

Your casual, Tuscan themed entertaining area calls for touches of décor featuring
wine: wine and grape wall art, metal wine bottle holders and wine word art.
Make it a fun, classy spot to entertain with unique, quality pieces that will help
you project an authentic Tuscan-Italian theme perfectly. Add the wine, glasses,
Napkins etc for the complete look.

The last areas to consider, are your shelves, counter tops, mantels and table areas.
Look for unique pottery pieces--vases and pitchers; chunky ceramic, marble or iron candlesticks; metal or ceramic containers; unique metal, wine bottle holders and large decorative chargers.
